Can't really blame a 20+ year old carb for getting worn and starting to play up, most cars that age have their issues

till 5 years back we had a W reg bedford camper from the first lot of registration marks, so 79/80 sort of year, and that carb was fine till the end, they can be made to last, i think the 413 had just a badly designed carb.

(in my personal opinion)

Is that the new term for break downs "issues", lol.

The CF carb is very crude, the 413 carb is quite sophisticated. Its not difficult to repair a 413 carb but the parts are expensive.

That explains a lot of my problems

Right gonna do it and shell out for a Webber, found one for under £300, will I find one cheaper anywhere else ??

I doubt it, I've got that weber kit fitted on my zook (which I used mainly on the road) and I found the weber a brilliant replacement for the original, having the complete kit makes everything easy and contains everything needed to make the conversion easy, the kits professional and what I liked the most was that it was compatible with the original airbox and is a complete bolt on solution, you'll hear nothing but praise from me about this kit - and yes it is an expensive kit but webers have parts back up and the kit is a full kit that you know will work,

Here was my engine bay before the weber


And with the weber fitted


I'd recommend the kit!
